How does art respond to the complexities of our current political climate to help us shape the future? In this conversation, sculptors and mixed media artists Margarita Cabrera, Beatriz Cortez, and Postcommodity (Cristóbal Martínez, Mestizo, and Kade L. Twist, Cherokee) discuss how their work builds new understandings of the physical world and our environments to form pathways for possible futures. 

This conversation is moderated by Marcela Guerrero, DeMartini Family Curator, Whitney Museum of American Art, and Mary Thomas, Director of Programs, US Latinx Art Forum.

This program is part of X as Intersection, a four-part virtual public program series featuring conversations with fellows from the third cohort of the Latinx Artist Fellowship, an initiative of the US Latinx Art Forum.

Simultaneous interpretation in Spanish provided by Babilla Collective.
